Pataband

From Bagnara Calabra, Southern Italy, Giuseppe started playing acoustic guitar at the age of 10, and bass became his main instrument at 14. After several years spent in Milan as a performer and arranger, and a period of sessions and recordings at Berklee College of Music in Boston, he finally moved to LA. It is always exciting to watch and hear his ability to blend African music, Jamaican reggae and Western pop and rock with a little bit of "tarantella" (native to his homeland Calabria) into one special sound.



His wide range of works and collaborations as a performer, producer and composer ranges from Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, Stewart Levine, Sunny Levine, Hugh Masakela, Lalo Schifrin, Herbie Hancock, Take 6 to Eddie Kramer, Warren Cuccurullo, Terry Bozzio, Mickey Avalon, Mocean Worker, Pete Yorn, Holly Palmer, Talvin Singh to name a few, as well as recording sessions at Capitol Studios, Paramount, Cello Studios, Ocean Way Studios, The Village Recorder, Paul Allen's Vulcan, Forum Village Rome, etc.
Recent works include:
EAR THEATRE "Vol.1", the first in a series of recordings dedicated to the melodic genius of the many composers who contributed to The Great American Songbook. www.eartheatrerecords.com,
